I finally got around to watching the movie Capote and that sparked my interest in reading this book. I think I may have expected it to be the book version of the movie, which it definitely was not.

I'm glad I read it as it did fill in things that the movie made me curious about regarding the case, but I didn't find it that interesting.

I suppose it was well-written but it didn't strike me as being any better or worse than the average true crime book.

I ended up tossing the book since it was in bad shape and not everyone is more interested in story lines than they are in book condition.
